'Cooling off' period for vasectomy -- birth control for men


While I have to admit that I admired the cojones (pun intended) of Michael Lewis' writing in the Huffington Post about the mixed emotions of having a vasectomy done to appease his wife, I was surprised to see that California law requires a 'cooling off' period between consultation and operation. I wonder if the same is true for women who chose to undergo tubal ligation after birth?

And why is it that big pharma has yet to come up with an effective birth control pill or patch for men?
